BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

Jackie Beard Robinson steps Behind The Rope.  Melissa Gorga’s Ex-Envy Partner that is. With RHONJ Season 14 having finally arrived, we felt today the perfect kick off to a season long who’s who in RHONJ land of past and present Garden State residents. Jackie fills us in on all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our Bravo TV’s during RHONJ Season Seven and the infamous “left in the middle of the night with all the clothes” narrative that Melissa, Bravo and many others created as a Season Eight RHONJ opener. There has been so much written about the ownership of Envy, the demise of this partnership and the golden days of RHONJ yesterday. Jackie is here today to clear the air, separate fact from fiction and detail the lawsuits she brought against Melissa Gorga, Andy Cohen, Production, Bravo and NBC.  Jackie spills the tea on what she knows about Joe and Melissa’s relationship, Teresa and Joe, Luis Ruelas and much more.  We talk Margaret, Dolores, Jackie, Jen, Danielle and Rachel and what is likely to happen once this season of RHONJ concludes with Teresa and Melissa not having uttered a word to each other. Jackie mentions it all regarding RHONJ past, present and future holding nothing back.   To Purchase Jackie’s Book, “Money, Lies and The Housewives”, click here: bit.ly/47uSu6d @jackiebeardrobinson @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CROCS - crocs.com (20% Off Crocs’ New Brooklyn, Miami & Getaway Sandals with Code Sandals20) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices)  ASTEPRO - asteproallergy.com (Get Fast Acting Nasal Allergy Symptom Relief with Astepro.

Introducing Make a Plan To Get What You Want from It Has to Be Me.Follow the show: It Has to Be MeMia Moran shares her journey from graphic design firm owner to wellness advocate, author, and productivity coach. She takes us inside her FLOW planning system, and how slowing down, being present, and listening to your intuition help you make decisions from a place of calm, and prioritize your time. Mia shares strategies for connecting with yourself in order to gain clarity about what you want, and making a plan to take action on it! She emphasizes the value of listening to your body’s signals, and how self care expands your capacity to give to others. Mia and Tess discuss the trade-offs of saying “yes” and “no,” and the importance of letting go of what doesn’t serve you in order to lean into growth. She gives a personal example of why changing her diet improved her quality of life; and how her personal transformation led to writing a book, teaching others, and developing her FLOW 365 program. KEY TAKEAWAYSListen To Yourself: Mia shares the importance of getting slow and quiet, and listening to signals from yourself to make decisions from the inside out, instead of the outside in. Find Out What The Need Is: Doing her book tour, Mia asked lots of questions to get clear about how she could use her skills, knowledge, and experience to provide planning solutions for busy women. Connect with Your Future Self: Mia devotes time every week to getting to know her future self, by writing as her and meeting her in meditation to get clear about what she wants to make happen now.  “What do I really want?”: Mia shares her practice of giving yourself permission to dream big without any limits. The FLOW Planning System: Mia talks us through her four steps to making decisions that align with your dreams, and strategies for putting those choices into action. SOUND BITES“Planning is deciding in advance that you’re going to get what you want.” “Achieving your goals is a process of deciding and re-deciding.” “The second I got quiet, I got all the guidance I needed.” “Once we get clear on what we really want, there's nothing for the lions (the fear) to grasp onto, because we're stronger.” “Part of my belief system is that I got here because of everything that happened…which has to fold in all the disasters.” “The reason that we make a plan is not so that we can stick to it…a year plan should not be fulfilled because by the time we've done two months, we've changed, we've morphed, we've become somebody different, and we want something different. Our vision can grow. If we change our minds, we’re not failing. We just tried something, and we got a lot smarter. And now we're pivoting, or recommitting, or deciding something different.” ABOUT MIA MORANMia Moran is a mom of three, productivity coach, and planning expert. She is the host of the Plan Simple podcast, bestselling author of Plan Simple Meals, and creator of the FLOW Planning Method, and FLOW365 program. Mia has struck her perfect balance between wellness, work, and family; and she helps busy women and female entrepreneurs reduce overwhelm, find balance, and make a strategic plan that enables them to achieve their goals. CONNECT WITH MIAWebsite: https://plansimple.comPodcast: https://plansimple.com/podcast/Book: https://plansimple.com/plan-simple-meals-book/Instagram: DISCLAIMER: Please note, this is an independent podcast episode not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced in conjunction with the host podcast feed or any of its media entities.

Dorit and PK have announced their separation. We break down their statement, the shock or lack thereof heard around the BravoVerse, how long they have really been having problems, the likelihood this announcement was motivated only and solely in response to Producers’ rumored ultimatum to Dorit, how this has secured Dorit’s diamond for Season 14 and what we expect to see when RHOBH returns to our Bravo screens later this year. In other RHOBH news, filming has begun, we discuss likely storylines for the other RHOBH cast members and share an update on whether we can expect to see Morgan Wade next season in Bev Hills. Next, we deep dive Andy Cohen’s recent interview where he has responded to Leah McSweeney, Brandi Glanville, Eboni K. Williams and Bethenny Frankel’s claims against Bravo, reveals the true status of his relationship with John Mayer and which Housewives are the "ultimate standard”. Finally, Bravo announces new shows, renewed shows and why they will be standing by Andy Cohen after conducting an internal investigation which, shocker, has found nothing. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Koa Johnson steps Behind The Rope.  If that name sounds familiar to you it is because he is the designer that The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Jen Shah was seen berating in the leaked viral video way back when.  Koa’s name has resurfaced recently in relation to Monica Garcia and Reality Von Tease. Were the signs there? Is this chat foreshadowing several years in the making? Koa starts at the beginning explaining how, where, when, and why he came to work for RHOSLC’s Jen Shah.  Koa details what their working relationship was like as designer and official Shah Squad member which, if you have seen the video, you know was not all that pleasant.  Speaking of the viral video, Koa chats about when it was taken, what caused Jen Shah to lose her sh&t, who else was in the room and, whether this type of behavior was a common occurrence, and just who does he think leaked the video to the media.  Koa explains the circumstances surrounding the end of his employment with Jen, why he never spoke out about their working relationship before, the long term effects their time together has had on him, what he would like to say to Jen and his recommendations to Bravo and her fellow RHOSLC cast members going forward in regards to Jen.  We share this never before publicly aired chat today with the one and only Koa Johnson.  @designerkojo @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: 310 NUTRITION - 310nutrition.com (50% Off Up To $100 w/ Code Velvetrope on the Best Hydration, All-in-One Shakes & Refreshing Lemonade Mixes) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  BUBLY - bubly.com (Introducing Bubly Burst - Sparkling Water with an Extra Burst of Fruit Flavor, an Extra Burst of Fun.

This explosive season of Vanderpump Rules has ended with a bang. Lala slams Ariana, Tom attempts to make peace with Ariana by speaking directly to her and new BF Daniel, Scheana struggles with forgiving Tom while still remaining loyal to Ariana, Jo is bullied and everything comes to a head in the much expected Tom Sandoval redemption season. As Schwartzy said, "plot twist", or is it? The VPR after shows were even messier with Lala doubling down, Kristen and Brittney weighing in and the name of Beyonce being taken in vain. Finally, we address the rumors that Kyle and Dorit do not want to film with each other next RHOBH season, the effect - if any - that will have on their ability to hold a diamond and the party Sutton is having this weekend because filming has…begun! @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

As Bethenny likes to say, we mention it all. @anaqooks @acefanning_ @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET To Save Up To $300 Off Air Purifiers and a 3 Year Warranty On Any Unit, Which Is An Additional $84)  MIRACLE MADE - trymiracle.com/VELVET (Save Over 40% and If You Use Code VELVET  At Checkout You’ll Get 3 Free Towels & Save An Extra 20%)  HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off On The Best Shapewear & Bras On The Market) PROLON - prolonlife.com/VELVET (Get 10% Off Their Five Day Nutrition Program) 310 NUTRITION - 310nutrition.com (50% Off Up To $100 w/ Code Velvetrope on the Best Hydration, All-in-One Shakes & Refreshing Lemonade Mixes) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  RAKUTEN - rakuten.com (Members Earn Cash Back On Everything They Buy Through Rakuten or The Rakuten App) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
